Redocly CLI toolset

Redocly CLI (fka OpenAPI CLI) toolbox with rich validation and bundling features.

Features

Currently, @redocly/cli supports these features:

• [x] Multi-file validation. No need to bundle your file before validation.
• [x] Lightning-fast validation. Lint a 1 MB file in less than one second.
• [x] Built-in rules for common validations.
• [x] Configurable severity levels for each rule.
• [x] Human-readable error messages with codeframes and stylish format options.
• [x] Intuitive suggestions for misspelled types or references.
• [x] Easy to implement custom rules.
• [x] Bundle a multi-file definition into a single file.
• [x] Decorators to modify a validated definition during bundling.
• [x] Preview docs for local development.
• [x] Support for OpenAPI 2 (fka Swagger) and OpenAPI 3.0.
• [x] Basic support for OpenAPI 3.1

What makes this tool different

• 💨 It's faster (uses a type tree similar to how linters for programming languages work)
• 🎯 It's more accurate (working with types is more accurate than working with JSON path)
• ⚙️ It's highly configurable (comes with a lot of commands and rules)
• 🛠️ It's more extensible (architected for custom plugins and types)

Usage

Node

npx @redocly/cli lint path-to-root-file.yaml

Alternatively, install it globally with npm:

npm install @redocly/cli -g

Then you can use it as redocly [command] [options], for example:

redocly lint path-to-root-file.yaml

Docker

To give the Docker container access to the OpenAPI definition files, you need to mount the containing directory as a volume. Assuming the OAS definition is rooted in the current working directory, you need the following command:

docker run --rm -v $PWD:/spec redocly/openapi-cli lint path-to-root-file.yaml

To build and run with a local image, run the following from the project root:

docker build -t redocly-cli .
docker run --rm -v $PWD:/spec redocly-cli lint path-to-root-file.yaml

Thanks to graphql-js and eslint for inspiration of the definition traversal approach and to Swagger, Spectral, and OAS-Kit for inspiring the ruleset.
